Whoops!

For Windows 2000, you can manage your MacFile configuration under the Shares
MMC plugin:
- Right Click on My Computer, select "Manage"
- Drill down to System Tools\Shared Folders\Shares

To create a new Mac fileshare, right click "Share", and select "New File
Share".  This starts a Wizard, where you get to specify what the folder can
be accessed from - and Apple Machintosh is listed
